| Obverse description | Laureate and bearded head of Zeus Ammon in right profile, rendered in the Hellenistic style with flowing locks of hair and a prominent ram's horn curling behind the ear — the syncretic divine attribute merging Zeus with the Egyptian deity Ammon. The portrait is boldly modelled in high relief, with the facial features conveying divine authority. The field is plain, with no legend or inscription on the obverse. |
